If an active shooter threat arises, there will be emergency communication through Alert UR. However, if you see an active shooter, you shouldn鈥檛 wait for direction before reacting.

If you find yourself in the vicinity of an active shooter:

Run. Escape if you can, and encourage others to follow. Leave your belongings behind. If you can, prevent others from entering the area. Once you鈥檙e safe, call 911 or Public Safety. Be sure to keep your hands empty and visible.

Hide. Hide in an area out of the shooter鈥檚 view. Lock or block the doors. Remain quiet and silence your cell phone. Stay away from windows and doors.

Fight. If there鈥檚 no other option and your life is in danger, you should fight. Act with aggression and attempt to incapacitate the shooter. Use improvised weapons.

When law enforcement arrives, it鈥檚 important to realize that responding officers will be armed, and their number one priority is to eliminate the threat. This means they will pass by the wounded first.

Remain calm, keep your hands empty, and raise them in the air so the police know you are not a threat. Be sure to follow the police officer鈥檚 instructions. Don鈥檛 interfere with their efforts, chase fleeing suspects, run towards the police, or grab any police officers.

Robbery is the stealing of another person鈥檚 belongings by using force. If you find yourself in the middle of a robbery, here are steps you can take.

• Stay calm and try not to panic.
• Avoid confrontational eye contact or making any sudden movements.
• Cooperate. Remember that items can be replaced, but people cannot.

While cooperation is important, do not voluntarily help the suspect. For example, don鈥檛 give the suspect more than what he asks for, like more money or additional items like watches, cell phones, computers.

Be observant. Try to get as much detail about the suspect as possible (for example: race, gender, hair and eye color, height, weight, clothing, weapon used, and direction of travel) Also, obtain as much detail as you can about any involved vehicles (for example: color, make, model, license plate, body type, and year).

Immediately following the robbery, move to a safe location and call for help as soon as you can. Speedy reporting improves our chances of solving the crime.

• Severe weather
• Domestic violence and sexual assault

• Lock up. Keep your doors and lower-level windows locked when you鈥檙e gone. Sleeping with your bedroom door closed and locked is a good safety practice, as well. If someone knocks, find out who it is before you answer.
• Keep your keys safe. Have your keys ready as you approach your residence. Don鈥檛 attach your name or address to your keys. If your keys or ID card are lost or stolen, contact Residential Life right away to prevent misuse.
• Keep your belongings safe. Close shades after dark, and don鈥檛 leave anything valuable visible from the outside.

• Make sure the keys are changed when you move in and exterior doors have deadbolts. This helps prevent previous tenants from accessing the residence.
• Make sure windows are free from cracks and damage.
• Ensure there is both a functioning smoke detector and a carbon monoxide detector.
• Don鈥檛 hide a spare key outside your home.
• When traveling to and from your residence, take paths and walkways that are well-lit. Also note where the closest Blue Light phones are to you, and familiarize yourself with the neighborhood.
• Don鈥檛 open the door for strangers.
• If possible, keep bushes and hedges trimmed down. If bushes and hedges cover a window or door, a criminal can break in more easily.

• If possible, take smaller items with you, especially valuables or irreplaceable possessions. If you do leave these behind, lock them in a sturdy trunk or safe, or cover them up so they鈥檙e out of sight.
• Keep a record of what you鈥檙e leaving behind. This can include pictures, serial numbers, model, price, and date of purchase.
• The last person to leave should do a double-check of the residence to ensure windows and doors are locked.
• If you鈥檙e leaving your car, park it in a well-lit area and remove any valuables. You could ask a friend who is staying behind to keep an eye on it, as well.
• Avoid posting your plans to social media while you鈥檙e away, as it could tip criminals that you鈥檙e not at your residence.
• When coming back, check for broken windows, damaged doors, or other signs of foul play before you enter. If something seems off, contact Public Safety for assistance.
